Watch through to the end, I made a few mistakes that I corrected along the way.

*** Note ***
I said at the beginning that the 1.15 version was going to have a 3 high stack of storage chests, but I changed my mind as I was recording and made it 4 high to match the 1.16 version. So the tutorial actually covers both versions with 4 high storage. Sorry for the confusion.

This is a step-by-step tutorial on how to build my compact categorizer which is essentially just a multi item sorter, but with minecarts. It's a simplified version of Cass's categorizer from the Maizuma Games Youtube channel. If you haven't checked out Maizuma Games you should, they have tonnes of great minecraft videos.

Also, sorry I lied about the annotations, you'll just have to settle for me telling you what's what. I was 10 hours into recording and editing and had to just call it good enough.
